NAME
     gxl2gv,gv2gxl - GXL-GV converters

SYNOPSIS
     gxl2gv [ -gd?  ] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ]
     gv2gxl [ -gd?  ] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION
     gxl2gv converts between graphs represented in GXL and in the
     GV language. Unless a conversion type is specified  using  a
     flag,  gxl2gv  will  deduce  the type of conversion from the
     suffix of the input file, a ".gv" suffix causing  a  conver-
     sion  from  GV to GXL, and a ".gxl" suffix causing a conver-
     sion from GXL to GV.  If no suffix is available,  e.g.  when
     the  input is from a pipe, and no flags are used then gxl2gv
     assumes the type of the input file from its executable  name
     so  that gxl2gv converts from GXL to GV, and gv2gxl converts
     from GV to GXL.

     GXL supports a much richer graph model than GV. gxl2gv  will
     attempt  to  map  GXL  constructs into the analogous GV con-
     struct when this is possible. If not, the GXL information is
     stored  as  an  attribute.  The  intention  is that applying
     gxl2gv|gv2gxl is semantically  equivalent  to  the  identity
     operator.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -g   The command name and input file extensions are ignored,
          the input is taken as a GV file and a GXL file is  gen-
          erated.

     -d   The command name and input file extensions are ignored,
          the input is taken as a GXL file and a GV file is  gen-
          erated.

     -?   Prints usage information and exits.

     -o outfile
          If  specified, the output will be written into the file
          outfile. Otherwise, output is written to standard  out.

OPERANDS
     The following operand is supported:

     files   Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in GXL or
             GV.  If no files operand is specified, the  standard
             input will be used.

RETURN CODES
     Both  gxl2gv  and  gv2gxl return 0 if there were no problems

     during conversion; and non-zero if any error occurred.

BUGS
     gxl2gv will only convert in one direction even if given mul-
     tiple files with varying suffixes.

     The conversion can only handle one graph per GXL file.

     There are some GXL constructs which gxl2gv cannot handle.
